Based upon that experience, Curt highlights the importance of change management and he walks through how he was able to turn around a struggling Worthen Bank and lead it to to an acquisition and eventual merger into Bank of America. He then discusses the history of Stephens Inc., his background in economics and history and his views on the ethical underpinning of capitalism.
